I told Alistair Burt I would never forgive him as during the boundary review, Henlow left Mid Beds and became part of North East Bedfordshire.

However, I have spent the last few days meeting people in the new villages we inherited into Mid Beds, and what beautiful villages they are too.

One of my visits this morning took me to Old Warden Park.

What a fantastic place. I wanted to stay and stare at the old planes forever. The restaurant and children’s play area must make this place heaven for a little (and the big I suppose!) boys day out.

A great addition to Mid Beds and as massive boost in our endeavour to promote the constituency as a destination for growth via tourism, rather than industry.
